</i>
</pre>

<p>

Classical, intellectual, impractical...yeah, I like to listen to 
<!WA0><a href = "http://www.netaxs.com/~jgreshes/mahler/">Gustav Mahler</a>!  
Other favorite composers this week include
<!WA1><a href = "http://www.lucidcafe.com/lucidcafe/library/96apr/rachmaninoff.html">
Rachmaninoff</a>, 
<!WA2><a href = "http://www.astro.umd.edu/~sgeier/xB.html">J.S. Bach</a>, 
Handel, and Chopin.
<p>
<h2>Recent listening</h2>
<ul>
<li>Ella at Duke's Place!  A swinging respite from long-haired music.
    What could be better for a Saturday afternoon? Ella is the Queen of Scat!
<li>Brahms: Handel Variations, piano.
<li>Johan de Meij: Symphony No. 1 for Wind Band, "The Lord of the Rings."
    Romantic, brassy, cosmic.  Reminds me of a cross between Wagner 
    and John Williams, only better.
<li>Mahler: Symphony No. 9, Bruno Walter, 1961.
</ul>
